Model Protocols and Consent Forms

These protocols represent complete and approved materials, and the board views each of these samples as high quality works. We present them for your use with the gracious consent of each of the principal investigators represented.

It is important for people who view and refer to these materials to understand that each protocol represents a unique application of the principles of human subjects protections in the context of the specific academic issue under investigation. As a result, the materials you see will vary widely in the extent to which the methods used by investigators are directly applicable to a project in which you may be involved.

As always, the IRB welcomes your comments and questions about the usefulness of these resources.
